I've seen this appalling ad a few times

Two young children dangling upside down by their knees, eating cheese in the hope that if they eat it upside down it will feed their brains

It took me a while to catch what it was actually advertising, but now I know, I am making a formal complaint

I cant believe how utterly stupid and irresponsible this is an as example to junior school aged children

This OP not only has 2 jobs it is also running a marathon with very little training but its ok cos she will have a belt with cartons of orange juice attached to it.

At least the summer holidays are over soo

Just swinging by to see if anyone has managed to choke to death on a cheese triangle. No? Oh Gouda.
Op, I hope you're not intending on swigging your orange juice while running, it could cause you to either choke to death or lose concentration and collide with a double decker.

Mmmm. Double deckers and marathon bars 😋

I thought the OP was a teacher, or at least worked in Education in some way, maybe a Biology teacher

sweeneytoddsrazor · 23/08/2021 18:32

@ineedaholidaynow

OP does say she is a teacher on yet another thread about power tools.

Trillogy101 · 23/08/2021 18:33

I just want cheese now! 🙄

ineedaholidaynow · 23/08/2021 18:35

But only if you eat it upside down @Trillogy101

I sincerely hope they are taking a folding chair with them for when they want a drink. After all, according to the OP "messing around running, skipping, climbing, jumping, also causes choking".

most children have access to cheese, and places to hang upside down
The MN middle class privilege bubble at work again, NOT every child has a place to hang upside down

Trillogy101 · 23/08/2021 18:38

@ineedaholidaynow just ate a chunk of cheddar whilst hanging over the edge of my bed, I can confirm I am still alive

Doesn't count if it wasn't Dairylea.

Bollockstothat · 23/08/2021 19:03

All this talk of cheese has reminded me that there's a Boursin in my fridge that I'd forgotten to eat and that's about to go out of date. Shock Thank you all for reminding me.

Hoppinggreen · 23/08/2021 19:04

@Flipflopblowout

Wow, how many people have died eating cheese while hanging upside down then?
I did

Why would a biologist be doing working in A and E?

Maybe teaching? That's also what OP does. Apparently.

Research placement looking at insulin spikes.

This thread is hilarious

AndTheReasonIsYou · 23/08/2021 19:12

Lol ffs.

This place 🤦🏻‍♀️

“most children have access to cheese, and places to hang upside down”
“The MN middle class privilege bubble at work again, NOT every child has a place to hang upside down“

She said most, not every! 🙄

MeredithGreyishblue · 23/08/2021 19:14

This thread has made my day. I want to make a formal complaint that it wasn't posted sooner!

Honestly, I wish I could still hang upside down. 🙃

Nevermind nowhere to hang upside down, mine doesn’t even have access to cheese
MeredithGreyishblue · 23/08/2021 19:17

And who is letting them out of their sight before they're 18 anyway? Surely their parents are lurking with a coffee nearby? Any upside down soft cheese action would be swiftly curtailed....

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 23/08/2021 19:24

Thought the complaint was going to be someone had somehow put a dairylea poster up upside down...
I love how bonkers this all is. Do love dairlylea though. Way better then laughing cow

Mysterian · 23/08/2021 19:33

You don't want to force upside down cheese eaters to buy their cheese illegally from dealers. Better to have it out in the open, otherwise safety surfaces under monkey bars will be littered in little zip-loc baggies that smell of chedder, brie, or Stilton. And once they're buying that from their dealers it won't be long before they're persuaded to try hard cheeses.
